It’s hard to chose the saddest chapter in the Herriot books, but the one that most effected me was the story of Paul, who took his life when his canine companion passed away.

Unknown to anyone in Darrowby (particularly as it was an unknown condition at the time), he secretly suffered from depression. He’d always appeared cheerful sitting on his regular stool at the bar, sipping from his pint – his little terrier beneath him.

Actor William Courtney (The Brigadier in ‘Doctor Who’) played ‘Paul’ in the penultimate episode of season 3.

About Pooch Cafe

Pooch Café is the story of a cheese-loving, squirrel-fearing, kibble-desiring, break-dancing, toilet-drinking mutt named Poncho. Dogs, like certain barflies, want to go where everybody knows their name (other than the vet’s office.) So they gather at the Pooch Café to compare notes on such weighty issues as avoiding baths, zebra-flavored kibble, toilet breath, and the construction of a giant catapult with which to hurl all the Earth’s cats into the sun. Don’t look for it out on the main street -- its actual location is a canine top secret that was only compromised that one time they got a pizza delivered.
